With an approximate 2,500 entries this year by over 1,050 artists, the competition was steeper then ever. This year we have included 789 finalist works. These works represent the top 31% of works submitted. It should also be said that a large portion of the works that did not meet the cut off point were also good to great, so congratulations to all. It is so inspiring to see so many great artists creating great works.

For those who are not finalists this year, many of you still demonstrated very high and advancing levels of quality and accomplishment. Please don't be discouraged. There is always next year as many artists qualify after several years of disappointment. Below are the names of all the finalists alphabetically by last name. We have not revealed what category or what works the below individuals are finalists in, in order to keep the suspense high for the actual announcement of the winners. We are planning on announcing the winners by the end of April or possibly early May. You will be given an update when we can confirm the specific
date.

All the finalists will be included in the 2014/2015 ARC Salon catalogue. One copy comes with each entrants first entry, but if you would like additional copies, we suggest placing your order now. We will be raising the price again after the winners are announced.
